2016/2017 Patient Survey

We will be running an ongoing Patient Survey and welcome your participation. All feedback will be collated and reviewed by our PRG at the end of the year, with results published on our site under the Survey link in the right hand menu.

Please take part and let us know how you rate our services.

The survey can be found at the bottom of our website.

Patient Representation Group

We have a group of patient representatives who are part of our virtual patient group. We contact them regularly to hear their views, comments and suggestions on our services as representatives of our patients.

New Patient Registration

Patients are accepted from the villages of Melbourn, Meldreth, Shepreth, Fowlmere, Thriplow, Foxton, Barrington, Orwell, Whaddon, Kneesworth, and the town of Royston. Our reception staff can confirm your eligibility from your postcode so please bring along proof of address such as a recent utility bill.

You will also need to complete a registration form (GMS1) and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor.

How do you want your health records shared?, a form is available so your views can be recorded.

Do you want to access the on line services now is an ideal opportunity. We need to confirm identity and home address and will then provide a logon ID and password. The access point to the online service is at the bottom of the home page of this website.

All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

Please see click the link below to view our practice leaflet which provide details of all information about the practice, opening times, services and staff.

Online 'Pre-Registration' With The Practice

If you wish to pre-register click on the link below to open the form. When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Send" button to mail your form to us. When you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct.

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. There is an online version of this file too, which you may fill out and send to us. When you come to the surgery you will be asked to sign this form to confirm that the details are correct.

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
